Windrush
Windrush
The windrush scandal has me incensensed, the way they treat people because of their skin they wanted to deport them and take them away To countries they could well have never even been.
Britain had urged them and cried out for help then shuned and treated them like scum. They must have wondered why they had bothered to come .
As time went by their children grew older and had children to . Who got on with their lives just like brits do .Until the day when A letter came their way. Telling them they didn't belong and that they couldn't stay.
Then the police came along and took them all away to be locked up when they did no wrong and told their families to move along !
Some of them got put onto planes and flown to a land far away. They had nowhere to go and no home of their own.All they had were their possessions and a cheap mobile phone !
One wife decided enough was enough , she wouldnt loose her husband and fought against the law. The government decided that the evidence was poor and decided they could stay.The rules were changed and they were free again to live another day.
